Help With Any Information About Lactulose

Any information on lactulose? My friend has been prescribed it by the hospital and she is very reluctant to take it due to the nature of the medication.

REPORT

This medication is most commonly used to treat constipation, and some types of liver disease. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, bloating, stomach pain, flatulence, and diarrhea.

What condition is being treated? Is she on any other medications?

I cannot get lactulose where I live as they changed to generic only and the generic is so bad I cannot take it. I sent my doc a message about it but no drug stores here have it or can order it either. Are there other choices than lactulose?
